Bark Squeaker - Pauropsalta corticinus

Family Cicadidae

This page contains pictures and information about Bark Squeaker Cicadas that we found in the Brisbane area, Queensland, Australia.

Body length 20mm

 

This cicada is brown to dark brown in colour, small in size. Wings are clear, but there is a small spot on each wing edge which form one larger spot at where four wings meet. They call with zip-zip-zip for about 10 time then followed by a long zip. 

 

 

 

In Mt Cotton mid summer, we found many of them on Lantana.
